Nice rig by the way. Looks to be a decent towing combination, keep in mind that dry weight is meaningless as nobody really tows an empty trailer around. Food, water/beverages, clothing, toys, bikes, and tools among other things add up quickly, lets just add 1000 pounds for a total of 6500. Truck should be fine with this amount of weight.
You stated 9000 to 9500 payload capacity, but I believe you meant towing capacity as even the stoutest 350/3500 HD diesel dually truck can't manage those payload numbers. Payload refers to the amount your truck can be loaded to and includes everything added to the vehicle other than a 150# driver and a tank of gas. This includes the tongue weight of your approximately 6500# TT which is roughly 800-900lbs. This is where many half-tons can fall short, but getting a truck with max payload should get the job done.
No experience with Passport or any Keystone products, RVs are manufactured as fast as they can push them out the door, purchase your TT from a reputable dealer that is known for quality service after the sale and they will remedy whatever issues should arise during the warranty period. There are no perfect trailers and having a good dealer to work with goes a long way to your overall satisfaction with your new rig. Have many wonderful trips in your new Passport!!!
